Pros

good team atmosphere. the mantra of "having fun while being the best" is a cool way to infuse corporate ideals with a youthful exuberance.

Cons

seasonal hirings! i started with the company in fall of 2001. Consistently a top seller and performer. Then when the holidays rolled around, they would hire in 16, 17 year old kids at high hourly rates that those of us who had been with the company for years or could only be seasonal because we spent most of the year away at college. just absolutely disgusting the way that management and company policy was used to castigated the long-term true-blue best buy employees.

Pros

Great salary , bonus and RSUs

Cons

Management still thinks of products as projects and doesn't fund appropriately. Some areas are ahead in tech, some areas aren't. Too many ex-Accenture VPs and up. Hard to promote junior employees, yet VPs/ SVPs promoted frequently. DO BOTH. Weird communication across pyramids.
